Music from the Apple MacBook Air commercial
When I first saw the MacBook Air commercial on TV it wasn’t the notebook I was paying attention to, but the music. It seems I wasn’t alone as this post from the PromoGuy.net site reveals the identity of the artist and the song as Yael Naim’s New Soul. There’s also a link in the article to the album on iTunes if you’re into that. Most of her lyrics are in French or Hebrew, with New Soul being — I think — the only English song on the album.
Yael’s Web site links to the following video, which I hope means it won’t get yanked due to copyright violation.

I have a son with autism. When this commercial comes on… it doesn’t matter where he is in the house or what he is doing, He comes running! I know he wants the notebook but the music is so inviting to him =) My husband, My son and Myself all turn it up and just laugh when we here him throw his remote to his game down or run out of the bathroom or anywhere…….just to see the commercial.. I looked everywhere to find the artist to the song and finally found it … I’m downloading it as I write this comment. I hope it is the right song because i’ts one thing that makes him smile…He just glows when the song is playing! I think the only thing he would like even better is the notebook itself..haha
Thank you,
Diane
